District 19 Condominiums
Updated: Oct 25, 2022
District 19
For the past few years, District 19 has been a hot bed for new condominium and EC (Executive Condominium) launches for quite a while. So, where is District 19? Basically it covers north-eastern region of Singapore comprises Serangoon, Hougang, Sengkang and Punggol towns.
Remember people said Punggl is a “ulu place” or “鸟不生蛋的地方”in Chinese? It was considered as less accessible region in the past until MRT North-East Line started operations in 2003. Hougang and Serangoon were already matured towns then, despite no MRT stations. MRT North-East Line is only one MRT line in this region. However, there are also 2 separate LRT lines in Sengkang and Punggol towns as well.
Our government has also brought many catalyst developments to enhance the livability of this region over the years such as Punggol Digital District & SIT Campus, KPE to city, Sengkang General & Community Hospital, Seletar Aerospace Park (District 28), Park connector through Punggol Waterway to Coney Island etc. There are many big shopping malls within this region such as Nex, Waterway Point for daily necessities.
Education is important. Rosyth School and Nan Chiau Primary & High Schools, Sengkang Green Primary School are located in this region. Probably Rosyth School is one of the main reasons why Hundred Palms Residences (EC) was sold out within a day despite no MRT (Serangoon North MRT Station was not confirmed yet).
Future Cross-island Line which targeted completion around 2030 will have many stations in District 19 as well. Around year 2030, residents here will have enhanced connectively to Ang Mo Kio, Clementi, Jurong, Tuas & Changi in terms of public transportations. One new MRT line is also identified for feasibility study, this new line will serve towns from Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang, Serangoon North, Whampoa, Kallang and Greater Southern Waterfront (Read article here).
